Hyper Backup “directory is already used by another task”

After deleting an rsync backup task in order to change user permissions and then creating a task with the same destination path I get the above error.

Solution:

  1. delete the synobkpinfo.db file
  2. rename the backup folder e.g. backup to backup_old
  3. create a new task with the same destination backup
  4. copy new synobkpinfo.db into backup_old
  5. delete backup
  6. rename backup_old to backup

I also investigated the .db file using SQLite Browser:
